Deskripsi

We recently reported that depletion of FANCM in ALT cells induces replication stress mainly at their telomeres. Additionally, we found that co-depletion of FANCM and BLM, or FANCM and BRCA1 induces synthetic lethality in the ALT cells. Our new findings could have important implications for cancer prevention and treatment.
